Every time I turn around another holiday always seems to creep up on me leading to endless emails making arrangements, menu planning, presents and cheeriness despite the mood or the weather. The good news is my family is remarkably relaxed, good natured and to my liking (ok, loving), love to eat!

For Mother’s Day we did just that. The above spread is collaboration between myself, my radiant sister and bro n’ law and consisted of the following…

Pork Ribs: Cooked slowly in the oven for 10+hrs; first in a dry rub, then slathered in my homemade BBQ Sauce.

Everything was going just fine - a beautifully butterflied chicken sizzling away under 2 heavy bricks... until the grill burst into flames, as the smoke thickened and blackened and shot up into the sky - we were sure the fire truck would arrive any minute - we had to remove the chicken and finish its cooking stove top in a cast iron pan, kept the bricks, and ended up with a surprisingly flavorful, though charred chicken.

About Me

Music informed my love of food; a passion that has taken exponential control over my life and propelled me to the Mecca, Italia. Proudly born and raised in Brooklyn, NY I am equal parts a renaissance boy and a progressive purist. My professional background has been driven by all variants of Music. Record store slave, proud intern, project manager, A&R, compiler, groupie, promoter/event producer, dancer, Londoner and lifestyle marketing manager. I dangled from the corporate bridge, one hand firmly planted in the pockets of the artists, chefs, vocalists, promoters, managers, producers, DJ’s, florists and photographers who inspire my life while staring down reticently at the ocean of “possibility” controlled by men in suits. My passion for a broader meaning to life and love hoisted me up and informed my next move. Hone in on food; proudly integrate hospitality, nuance, subtext, color, composition and all the senses into my future trajectory. Open a restaurant, sooner than later! Pay dues, cook, accept discomfort and ultimately shine bright!
